RIDE CANCELLED due to low sign up numbers and an ominous weather radar. See you next time! Welcome to the Tour de Fresh Pavement! Astute women may recognize much of this route from last week’s ride but, don’t worry, we will be riding it the opposite direction. Don’t forget about our new earlier start time;…

CANCELLED: Thursday Advanced Road Ride | August 17, 6:00 PM
** UPDATE ** We might start dry but it still looks unlikely we’d finish that way. Hopefully the weekend brings clear skies! Looks like we’re getting a south wind, and I’ve planned a long stretch for us to enjoy it! We’re starting earlier (6:00pm) so we can get close to the same distance as last…

Wednesday Gravel Ride | August 16 6:00PM
Wednesday Gravel Ride | August 16 6:00PM Hey y’all. It’s looking like this might be my last lead for the season. That said I’m tapped out for a short, creative route that you haven’t done already. The route for this is one that I often use for Dawn Patrol rides, but it perfect for a…

Thursday Advanced Road Ride | August 10, 6:30 PM

Thursday Intermediate Road Ride | August 10 6:30PM
Last time I told you I’d create a route that resembles a shape or a letter. I’ve changed that goal only slightly…you’ll be identifying shapes in the route; like you would if you were looking at the clouds. So take a look, tell me what you find! You can keep it as your own secret,…
